Cast Iron Ribeye Recipe

Step 1

Pat steaks dry with a paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the pan is sizzling hot.

Step 3

Add the steaks to the skillet, cook for 1 minute. Flip the ribeyes over and add 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each steak.

Step 4

Continue flipping the steaks every 1 minute, basting them with melted butter, until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. (see doneness temperature chart in notes)

Step 5

Remove the ribeye steaks to a platter or cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
